How can I get an interview and eventually get the job.?
-
I always seem to have trouble with even getting an interview for a job. I wanted to know if there was any tips that could help me with the application process for searching for a job. Below is my resume without my personal information and references. Please give me details on how I can improve my resume. Also, can you give any tips for the interview process? Thank you. Experience: 2010 - Present Direct Care Worker, Community Homes, Berkley, MI I take care of people with developmental disabilities. My daily duties consist of a plethora of tasks from helping consumers with daily living activities to passing medications, and completing daily mandatory paper work. Due to my flexibility I am able to take consumers to doctor’s appointments and outings as well. 2008 – 2009 Sales Associate, Macy’s, Harper Woods, MI As a Sales Associate at Macy’s I made sure to learn about all the products and services we provided to help adequately assist customers with their questions and purchases. I was continually awarded for selling promotional items, encouraging customers to apply for a Macy’s credit card, and going beyond by helping in other areas of the store, stocking, and help merchandising with product placement. 2007 – 2008 Provider Configuration, Molina Healthcare, Troy, MI I accessed provider eligibility through QNXT to insure payment. I compiled spreadsheets of provider ID numbers of whom we needed information such as licensing or insurance payment from. On a group project, I took the initiative to double my work load to finish the project of moving paper files to the computer storage and that move resulted in a project completion a month earlier than planned. Other duties I took on were scanning and faxing data to providers.

As the jobs you have listed are pretty diverse (office administration, customer service and care support worker), you first of all need to make some decisions about your future career plans. You have some great work experience and can show a range of skills and strengths- and this is excellent. However, you do seem to be undecided about where you see yourself going- the main theme in your work and education seems to be care work related but it's not clear what kind of care work.So what are your ambitions for the future? In order to create a really good resume, you must highlight the skills, experience, knowledge and personal strengths that are relevant to a particular job, so that the employer can easily see what you have to offer their particular business. This means having several different resumes that are designed to show how you would be great for the different kinds of work you seek- but if you are undecided do not try to create a resume that would try to cover every general aspect of your offer. It's likely that you're not getting interviews because you seem unsure about what you want to do, and have therefore not focussed on telling the employer about all your great achievements (in work and in training/education) that would make you really worth meeting, and ultimately really good at THAT job. The example below is for someone who is different from you- but you can use the same structure, where you have a section at the beginning that highlights your main positive aspects for the job you're going for. The other possibilities are that your references are not coming through, or that competition is high in the kind of work you seek and in your neighbourhood ( you may need to update qualifications to make yourself more competitive) . I think it would be worthwhile getting some professional careers advice, as you seem very capable but a bit lost about where to go from here!
